Jack Williamson 
Golden Blood [EPUB ebook] 

Chemical symbol… atomic number… atomic weight… Scientific terms for gold… but science can’t begin to explain the mystery and magic of gold. It was gold that lured the ‘Secret Legion’ — as oddly mixed a group of adventures as any song or story — into the world’s most treacherous desert. And gold they found — a golden man, and exotic golden woman, a huge golden tiger, and an eerie golden snake. Gold brought them together… gold made them enemies in a battle to the death… gold held the key to the mysterious forces that assailed them. Jack Williamson, alchemist with words, spins a rare web of adventure, fantasy and science… a gem from the golden age of Weird Tales, now available in book form for the first time.
